CHECKING BOLT TORQUE
The tables shown below give correct torque values for various bolts and capscrews. Tighten all bolts to the torques
specied in chart unless otherwise noted. Check tightness of bolts periodically, using bolt torque chart as a guide.
Replace hardware with the same strength bolt.
7.2 BOLT TORQUE
Torque gures indicated above are valid for non-greased or non-oiled threads and heads unless otherwise specied.
Therefore, do not grease or oil bolts or capscrews unless otherwise specied in this manual. When using locking ele-
ments, increase torque values by 5%.
